Monday Afternoon Music Fix

Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan premiered the first material from their Gutter Twins project on MySpace last week. The duo, dubbed as the “Satanic Everly Brothers,” will be releasing Saturnalia on Sub Pop on March 4. Get on their space to stream a couple of tracks, including “Idle Hands,” which Dulli says, “fuses Middle Eastern exoticism with shocking guitar riffs that shoot AC/DC boogie into another fucking galaxy.”

If you were lucky enough to be on the Futureheads’ Christmas-card-slash-mailing list, “Crash” should've landed in your inbox a few weeks ago. No word on whether the song will make the final tracklisting on May’s This is Not the World, but if you missed out, you can stream it at the group’s MySpace page. “The Beginning of the Twist” has been announced as the first proper single from LP3, and here’s the band previewing it live on the street for unsuspecting Londoners.

M. Ward is teaming up with singer/actress/star child Zooey Deschanel for She and Him.

Moby, Dick

I stopped paying attention to Moby once he planted himself on that giant soapbox and got greedy (see The Moby Equation), but the nine-minute trailer mix for Last Night suggests that LP6 might be a break from the usual car-ad soundtrack. Check it out it here ). The album’s due in March, and the bald one describes it as “a love letter to dance music in New York City.”
